“I Was the Perfect Victim”: A Narrative History of Surviving Epstein. Vanity Fair speaks to five Epstein survivors about how they met the predator, his horrifying grooming methods, and their ongoing fights for justice.
Ppl so obsessed with the files, but the victims are all here telling us their experiences. I wish ppl would listen to them, seat them front row at high profile events, make them undeniably HERE so ppl stop focusing on the one dead dude

While my predominant feeling is anger, I also feel so sad reading these quotes.

For some reason, the detail about the dog’s pic being redacted – while her personal info wasn’t – is making me livid. Way to prioritize censoring sensitive information! 🙄

It should be very, very clear that the “release” of the files was done so in a way to punish the victims rather than help them achieve any justice. The amount of redacted material shows just how much the entire process has been weaponised.

It’s so F***ED UP that Todd Blanche spent MORE TIME INTERVIEWING Ghislaine Maxwell (and subsequently moving her to minimum security prison shortly AFTER that interview) than MEETING UP with and GETTING JUSTICE for the Epstein Survivors!!!
I couldn’t even finish the article. It made me so sick.

One of the women who has been very public and active about all this is a close friend of mine and it is such a frustrating, traumatizing and enraging situation. I have my doubts that any justice will be done while this administration is still in power, it’s absolutely disgusting.

I’m so fucking angry that these women have not seen justice. I’m broken by the fact that they might not see it at all.

Remember, the Epstein survivors (I believe the sister-in-law and the brother of the late Virginia Guiffre attended that meeting as well) who [met with Blanche AFTER his first confirmation hearing](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/epstein-survivor-criticizes-blanche-calls-meeting-a-performative-move) said that the meeting Blanche was “an hour of deflection, interruption, and gaslighting!!”
Epstein Survivor Dani Bensky wrote this [article for USA Today](https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/voices/2026/07/23/epstein-files-todd-blanche-attorney-general-disqualified/90995254007/) where she said, “[During the meeting with Acting AG Blanche], There was no attempt to work with [Epstein Victims]. It was another way to dismiss [Epstein Victims].”
